“We tried to have another child, it didn’t work, and I went into a deep clinical depression. It’s only now that I no longer count other people’s children or judge myself harshly for not providing my daughter with a sibling.” — #emmathompson in Entertainment Weekly, November 2006

Noah Baumbach - The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017)
A typically Baumbach film, reminiscent of The Squid and the Whale, this is another story about a dysfunctional upper middle-class family going through changes. The writing is excellent as is to be expected and the acting is also top-notch.
Even Adam Sandler is good in this, he actually seems to be a good actor when the film isn't really a comedy, he should really leave the comedies aside and just do films for great Indie directors like Baumbach or Paul Thomas Anderson (Punch Drunk Love being another good example). Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller as well as Elizabeth Marvel, Grace Van Patten and Emma Thompson make up the rest of the stellar cast. An intimate portrayal about living up to expectations, failure and old age, this lives up to other great Baumbach films and you can't really ask for more than that. (4/5)

Beauty And The Beast (2017)
Movie Review #beautyandthebeast#moviereview#jimbobtalksmovies . SPOILERS (You have been warned). Beauty And The Beast is a live action remake of the 1991 Disney classic and stars Emma Watson as Belle. Surprisingly I thought she was very good in this role and her singing is also very good but overall this movie is the exact same as the 1991 version and only a few small things have been twisted. I think the effects are beautiful in this movie and the cast are brilliant in their roles such as Luke Evans as Gaston and Dan Stevens as the Beast. The CGI on the Beast looks incomplete in some shots and others he does. I found this movie at times enjoyable but other times a little boring in parts being as I was watching the same movie from the 90's I had already seen 100 times over and that was a little disappointing. Emma Watson was definitely the right choice for Belle, she is very good and deserves to be classed as the first live action Disney Princess. I thought the music sequences were very good and there is a solid cast in this movie but with it being no different to the original this movie gets #6 .5/10 from @JimbobTalksMovies.

Actresses Carey Mulligan, Emma Thompson, Ruth Wilson, Noma Dumezweni and Sophie Okonedo are among more than 200 female stars of British entertainment demanding action against sexism, inequality and harassment in the industry.⠀
⠀
Ahead of the BAFTAs on February 18, performers, writers and directors put their names to an open letter setting out a commitment to enact change across the entertainment industry and beyond at what is described as a “critical juncture” of the Time’s Up movement.⠀
⠀
The letter, published in the Observer, reads: “This movement is bigger than just a change in our industry alone. This movement is intersectional, with conversations across race, class, community, ability and work environment, to talk about the imbalance of power.”⠀

Primary Colors (1998)
Director: Mike Nichols
Main Cast: John Travolta, Emma Thompson, Billy Bob Thornton
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Rating: R (for strong language and sexual references)
Genre: Comedy, Drama
This 90s film follows a new member of a presidential campaign and how he has to help the candidate win. The candidate is Jack Stanton, a incredibly smooth and charismatic man. He also sometimes gets caught in hot water. The movie shows how his campaign works and what challenges it faces to win the presidency. The film is also very dated as it is loosely based on the Bill Clinton campaigns for president.
John Travolta plays Stanton, a caricature of President Clinton. He does it very well too. He plays a guy you want to just listen to and one who was meant for politics. He's a guy you would vote for. Emma Thompson plays his wife and also does a great job. Adrian Lester is Henry, the new member of his team and is the main character. He's excellent. The movie is entertaining and can be at times very funny. It's a fun watch and one of the best films about presidential elections even though it doesn't always relate to the current times.
Star Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
